Oh man I fucking called this one, as soon as I read that article a few days ago saying that the Russian maintainers were removed from the kernel, I’m like man if Russia was smart right now they would do a country-funded version, this is completely legal as well under the licensing of the current kernel.

yea this is really their biggest thing here, by the time conf emails get sent everyone will lose interest lol

I would actually much rather have an elevator that set up like that, it’s super clear where the ground floor is, and it still has the star to bring your attention to it. Plus it is expandable by reprioritizing the open and closed door buttons to be if you had a basement one or basement two (or a service level) and then you could just move the buttons down a little

You know after the whole fixed the labels of the buttons issue is fixed.

My ideology of that would be if you want me to use a device for work notifications, then you’re going to supply me the device.

Unless they’re paying me more for using my own personal device I’m not about to install spyware on it

yea a that was my first thought, no bsky, no lemmy, no mastodon (edit: apperently has limited suppport for exclusively mastodon.social) , like are they paying attention to the trends?

I have a 256 Gig micro SD card filled to the brim, and I’m slowly chipping away at my 128gb internal.

But even if I upgraded my internal, I’m not comfortable with not having some form of removable storage device. Those photos mean jack shit to me if my phone breaks itself and I can no longer turn it on. Currently I do synchronize it with my server at my house because I am slowly prepping myself for when I have to take the plunge, but it’s not optimal, I plan on jumping off Samsung to another brand that does, but none of the flagships out there even do it anymore

Also yes I fully missed the IR blasters, not that most TV is I think was function with it anyway because so many smart capabilities but it was nice

That and they really need to bring back the micro SD card slot, I’m still on an s20 plus myself and as far as I can see this will be my last Samsung due to it

I use fingerprint authentication for my phone on The Daily, I will never use this feature. Strictly because the fact that fingerprint sensing is so inconsistent and any type of change to the phone screen requires you to completely redo your fingerprints. Not to mention any type of substance on your hand suddenly makes you unable to use the phone, just when swimming for a half hour enjoy not accessing your phone just took a shower yep you’re going to wait an hour before using your phone.

Fingerprint authentication is super handy and I do like it, but I would never enable A system that required the fingerprint in order to pass the login

Obligatory Nova Launcher is all but abandoned by it’s parent company and shouldn’t be recommended anymore. They fired all but one dev who is moreorless still there for trying to put out the fires. It’s not a lasting project.

clickbait article title alert.

They never state they are wanting to remove the settings window, just that they seem to be working on an AI that can suggest changes to the phone based off your usage. honestly if it worked it might help, it already does a pretty “ok” job at noticing what apps need to be deep seeped or removing perms from apps that I don’t use and removing apps that I haven’t used in ages.

I would be against removing the settings menu but, this AI might not be that bad if it’s just being subsidized alongside it and not replacing it. As long as it offers and just doesn’t automatically change it

it was nova launcher pro till they fucked the dev team down to 1 dev who does everything so I moved to lawn chair because I can’t trust that the project is going to stay alive.

I personally didn’t like mastodon’s UI style, I found it tedious to use and more complicated then needed.

There’s no real similar product(at least out of what I’ve used) so nothing to run muscle memory on, and it deep dived into federation to the point it was confusing too confusing to figure out

this is what I do as well, along with file staging so if I corrupt it by accident I don’t lose the entire DB

Currently I have it on my server as grab only, and then normal access on my clients with staging

my issue with androids password manager feature is the main site I use it on is Firefox, but Firefoxes autofill for password manager is in a constant fight with keepass on who shows, and there’s no menu to tell it which one I want to use so I have to leave the field join the field till it shows or manually copy from the manager. It’s so obnoxious

The music being removed from your account shit shouldn’t be legal. You paid for it they should be refunding you if they are removing access, in a perfect world anyway.

Assuming the US when I say this but, some year we’ll have consumer protections, I’ll likely be dead by then but hopefully the day will come to light.

That being said I have never heard of soul seek, it sounds like a limewire spinoff? I agree music industry has /sucked/ in terms of obtaining stuff

and what is that going to give them? The information that they have is yes, they have an account, and that’s also saying that they used an actual number and not a VOIP number for registration. but if they are asking via phone number, they will already have that information at hand. They won’t get any information about what chats that number is part of, or even any info really at all, anything about the account is encrypted and not visible.

If they are able to provide my phone number without knowing the info you said there, there is some other leak already involved, and either way they won’t get anything but a “yes he has an account and he was last connected on X”

I’m not really sure why they say that, looking at it the UI looks pretty sleek

This is good news that the instance is back up again. But as an Outsiders pov, I’m going to be super hesitant on wanting to interact with the instance since it’s already proven to be shut down once.

Being said, I love to see people monopolizing on better technology that have more feature sets, and honestly it looks pretty dang cool

In terms of end-to-end encryption I don’t mind if they have my phone number or not, if it’s done right.

Let’s use signal for example, because honestly they do it pretty decently, the most information that you can obtain from signal in a data information request is the date and time that an account is created, and the last time the account went online.

Actual content such as the user’s contact list, the people that user was talking with(including groups), and of course the messages that you sent are fully end to end encrypted meaning that signal does not have access to it meaning that they cannot give that information out in a data information request as they never had it in the first place.

The most that signal is able to confirm in a data information request, is yes this specific account ID has a signal account and this is the last time they went online.

I know you didn’t directly say it but it’s implied so I wanted to clarify.

telegram chat isn’t E2E, the only E2E on the platform is secret chats, which is only available to mobile users of the platform and not enabled by default. It does have client-server encryption but, in the terms of privacy that is worthless if you don’t trust the host (and it opens the host up to legal information requests as it has the capability of decrypting the messages)
